Jurors panel!!! Fantastic 4 announced

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Two of the 4 jurors announced!

All 4 are confirmed, BTW. And I'm announcing in no particular order. I'm just torturing you. Someone told me this was a good way to build antici ...

I just talked to JDS and he told me these are the judges…

Uwe Boll
Lloyd Kaufman
Brett Ratner
James Nguyen (of BIRDEMIC fame)

Well these were the initial panel. But since you stold my thunder I fired them and got 4 new folks. Unfortunately I could not find anyone as suck-tacular as Boll though.

I'm guessing at least two will be film festival programmers, if not all of them.

Hmm. The rest of your speculation has proven accurate, so ... maybe.

Maybe one will be in the acquisition department somewhere.

DING DING DING DING! (basically) See 1st two announced jurors.

Nobody watches thousands of shorts a year unless it's part of their business model. Which means it could lead to some cool things, some exposure and some great feedback. I'm excited to know who they are!!

They are cool. And while I can't argue with you. These folks might watch that many short films even if they didn't have to for their jobs. Well OK maybe they'd just watch hundreds not thousands. But they likey the short films.

Since 4/1 is April Fools Day, I'll be sure to just check this thread on 4/2 for who they really are. Thanks for your work, Jack!

Well now, since the people I'm announcing are real (google 'em) they might not take too kindly if I made up that they were being jurors for us. We do like the idea of announcing their results on 4/1 just so the winners will always have an uneasy feeling ... "did that really happen?" We're sadistic like that. But you already knew this.

[Chris Messineo]

Very cool judges so far.

I subscribe to Wholphin and love the short films they showcase (I would of loved for Emily to have seen "Facade").

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Well they have the link to the full list of films in addition to the finalists. No guarantees but it's a possibility.

[Tim Joy]

This is very cool Jack. My cones are excited.

[Zak Forsman]

Chris Holland's book was central to devising my own festival strategy. It's very thorough.

[Rodney V. Smith]

This is very cool Jack. My cones are excited.

That just sounds so very wrong....

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

here's a hint on the last two.

Think: Park City.

[SonicStates]

I hate moderators ....tell me, tell me, TELL ME (alright, "US")!!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

No guesses on the last two?

Here's another hint: Something - dance.

(No not Tromadance or X-Dance)

Someone venture a guess.
